    hardly worth a star but not your time

    If you like watching useless garbage then this is the film for you ... i didn't read any reviews before watching this fiasco so it disappointed me because it stunk

    a decent comedy

    Not nearly as bad or as good as the extreme reviews make it out to be. It has some funny moments and was made well enough to hold your interest.

    Strong future for Dir. Gregg Russell!

    You are now entering THE SOUTH. Wellcome Ya'll! Represent! Strong actors, strong writing and a relate-able story. AND FUNNY. This film has wings and I think not only a star, but many stars, were born in its creation. Ya'll going' to Ya'll-y-WOOD honey - bless your heart.

    It's a great film that captures southern culture, comedy and attitude. The acting is very strong and see a bright future for these actors. The writing is strong and I see a bright future for the director and crew. It's a cut throat industry, so great to see films being made that stay true to the creator's vision and great to see new talent really show their skills.

    I made it an hour into this movie. Wasted time.

    I kept hoping it would get better, but it didn't. If I wanted to watch losers talk idiotically and behave like morons, I would go to Walmart. What a waste of a movie. Slow moving and bad acting.

    Terrific Writing!

    I about peed in my pants during JT's encounter with the employment agent, and the actor who played the colorful, in-way-over-his-head Jimmy Bobo fellow was typecast for that role. Without giving away the central plot line, the concept of planning the heist without considering its spoil rate was genius, while at the same time showing the desperation (and ignorance) of the main characters, who despite their limited means, never seem to lack for smokes, booze and choice language. Oh, and we watched it a second time and picked up on even more of the hysterical irony. I look forward to more hilariously insightful films from Gregg Russell.
